Sorry, but this is another really bad comparison to Venice.
These cities have nowhere near the history of Venice as a medieval trade metropolis, nor are they actually built on islands in a lagoon. If you must compare a city with lots of canals to a European counterpart, at least take Amsterdam.
- unwind 11y agoBut the name of the Californian city really is Venice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice,_Los_Angeles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice,_Los_Angeles), which I guess makes it kind of awkward to compare it to Amsterdam. Not sure if the article was a "comparison" at all, though, it read more like a history piece.
